Re: workrave preferences setup

Hi again,

A friend of mine installed workrave from the ppa [
https://launchpad.net/~rob-caelers/+archive/ubuntu/workrave], in unity. The
first time, the app opened and showed the timings, and after that the
window went missing. There are no time panels as well. How to fix this in
unity?

Best Regards,
Arrchana
